Consider a power system consisting of $N$ number of buses. Buses in this power system are categorized into slack bus. $P V$ buses and $P Q$ buses for load flow study. The number of $P Q$ buses is $N_L$. The balanced Newton-Raphson method is used to carry out load flow study in polar form $H, S, M$ and $R$ are sub-matrices of the Jacobian matrix $J$ as shown below:

$$ \left[\begin{array}{l} \Delta P \\ \Delta Q \end{array}\right]=J\left[\begin{array}{l} \Delta \delta \\ \Delta \gamma \end{array}\right] \text {, where } J=\left[\begin{array}{ll} H & S \\ M & R \end{array}\right] $$

The dimension of the sub matrix $M$ is

A 1000 $$ \times $$ 1000 bus admittance matrix for an electric power system has 8000 non-zero elements. The minimum number of branches (transmission lines and transformers) in this system are _____ (up to 2 decimal places).

The figure show the per-phase representation of a phase-shifting transformer connected between buses $$1$$ and $$2,$$ where $$\alpha $$ is a complex number with non-zero real and imaginary parts.
For the given circuit, $${Y_{bus}}$$ and $${Z_{bus}}$$ are bus admittance matrix and bus impedance matrix, respectively, each of size $$2\, \times \,2$$. Which one of the following statements is true?

In a load flow problem solved by Newton-Raphson method with polar coordinates, the size of the Jacobian is $$\,100\,\, \times \,\,100.$$ If there are $$20$$ PV buses in addition to PQ buses and a slack bus, the total number of buses in the system is ________.
